Deep Purple/London,UK 3.4.1987 New Source

“THE HOUSE OF BLUE LIGHT Tour” has been re-evaluated after 35 years. This is the birth of a new masterpiece that allows you to experience the scene at its best. This work is recorded at the “Wembley Arena on March 4, 1987”. It is the best audience recording. When you say “Wembley in 1987”, “WEMBLEY 1987” comes to mind, but this work is a completely different performance. In order to explain the situation around there, let’s first look back at the schedule at that time. 1987 {January 12th “THE HOUSE OF BLUE LIGHT” released} January 26th – February 28th: ​​Europe #1 (22 shows) March 3rd – March 8th: UK (5 shows) ←★Here★ April 15th – May 30th: North America #1 (28 shows) ←※Official NOBODY’S PERFECT {May 30th: Ritchie injured his left hand} August 19th – September 7th: Europe #2 (12 shows) ←※Official NOBODY’S PERFECT 1988 {June “NOBODY’S PERFECT” released} July 31st: Appearance at MONSTERS OF ROCK ITALY August 11th + 16th: North America #2 (2 shows) September 9th – 29th: Europe #3 (14 shows) This is DEEP PURPLE in 1987/1988. Ritchie Blackmore’s injury is also a turning point, but this work was before the injury. It was part of the “UK” leg of the only mini-tour in his home country in the V period. From this leg, not only the aforementioned “WEMBLEY 1987” but also the new masterpiece “EDINBURGH 1987” has been very well received. Let’s zoom in on “UK” and check it out. March 3rd “WEMBLEY 1987” March 4th: Wembley performance ←★This work★ March 6th “EDINBURGH 1987” March 7th: Birmingham performance March 8th: Birmingham performance … and thus it is a live album that connects between the two masterpieces and forms a trilogy. However, even though the position is a trilogy, the quality is one step ahead. The most wonderful thing is the direct feeling on. There is no record of the recording position, but the performance is close by anyway. Even though “WEMBLEY 1987” and “EDINBURGH 1987” had a direct feeling that was far removed from the 80s, the core of this work that jumps out is clearly on a different level. Moreover, it is not just a rushing force, but the tightly packed response has no sense of distance at all, and it is hard to believe that it was recorded through space. That is the density of FM broadcasting. The dense sound that is worthy of being called “like a sound board” depicts a high-tension full show in which the “golden five” compete with each other. This “British” leg is also known for its fulfilling performances, and in particular, “EDINBURGH 1987” was a hot topic for its tension that exploded to the point of being uncontrollable. Although this work is not that explosive, the concentration is by no means lost. To put it simply, the phrases are rich in variety and are hard and soft. Jon Lord seems to be constantly inserting cool phrases at key points, but Richie is mischievous. It’s hard to put the feeling of improvisation into words, but the range of the fast-fire and the relaxed long tones is also large, and the unexpected phrases make you think “Huh?” and your concentration is stirred. The biggest surprise of such a full show is the final encore “Smoke On The Water”. After a slightly longer break of over three minutes, the members return to the stage and play that riff… the organ. Yes, Richie refused the encore on this day. I think it was a whim because the main set didn’t feel like a slacker, but the result is “Smoke On The Water” with a keyboard quartet. This live album allows you to enjoy John’s activities as a two-person role, using both the organ and the synth, with a thick and direct sound. During the “PERFECT STRANGERS” era, there was only one performance in the UK at Knebworth. This live album allows you to experience the energetic tour of their home country, which finally came true three years after the reunion. A new masterpiece that boasts a direct feeling that stands out as one of the three permanent preservation trilogy. The best audience recording of the performance of “Wembley Arena on March 4, 1987”. It is a show between the masterpieces “WEMBLEY 1987” and “EDINBURGH 1987”, but the quality is one step ahead. Anyway, the performance is close, the core jumps out and the response is packed tightly without any sense of distance. It is a masterpiece recording like FM broadcasting. Although it is a masterpiece performance with a rich improvisation, Richie refused an encore. This is a new masterpiece that you can enjoy “Smoke On The Water” in a rare keyboard quartet state with the best sound. The best sound quality board of THE HOUSE OF BLUE LIGHT TOUR best.
